After coding for several hours on another project, I remembered that
I was going to post a message to this list regarding the compiler
errors I got when attempting to compile my mud under Linux. So, I
CTRL-ALT-DEL'd my machine to restart it (it was in win95), and at the
"LILO", I pressed the left shift key, and at the "boot: " prompt, I
typed "linux", as I usually do when booting into The Operating System.
Sadly, Linux never made it to my screen. After following the steps
above, "Loading linux......" appeared on my screen - and nothing
further (usually it goes through a whole slew of loading messages).
The system was completely hung (the only keys that did not rebuke me
with a beeping noise were the CTRL, ALT, and DEL keys (interestingly
enough). So I restarted my computer and tried again several times,
resulting in the same system lockup every time. I am at a complete
loss for an explanation; I do not habitually edit my master boot
record. Does anyone know how I can boot into linux (Alas, I have no
boot disks, the last one accidentally formatted while making a
backup)? Does anyone know what might be going on?
ObCircle:
I plan to re-code all of CircleMUD 3.0bpl11 into FORTRAN. If anyone
would like to help, please email me (philipe@basix.com). Coders that
already know FORTRAN are preferred. Also, would this project violate
the License Agreement?
